1-Point Perspective

4th-grade students began their 1-point perspective project by analyzing various artworks that use 1-point perspective. At first, the students could not believe that all the lines pointed towards a single vanish point!

​

Students took turns coming up to the front of the class and drew lines onto a projected image, revealing the hidden vanishing point.

​

After viewing more examples art works and explaining rules of perspective, students used a practice worksheet to experiment creating a 3D space with a vanishing point.

​

When ready, students started their final artwork, working with pencil first, then marker, and finally watercolor paint.

​

It was amazing how each student was given the same format and instructions but made their 1-point perspective drawings so unique and individualized!
